Breakfast Spinach Smoothie
Description
The smoothie blends a mix of fresh spinach, almond butter, almond milk, banana, and frozen mango to create a thick, green drink. The banana and mango provide natural sweetness and creamy mouthfeel that mask the mild earthiness of the spinach. Almond butter adds protein and richness, while chia seeds contribute slight texture and nutritional benefits.
Blending on medium-high speed ensures all greens are fully pulverized to avoid leafy bits, resulting in a smooth, uniform texture. This drink can be consumed immediately as a refreshing and filling breakfast or snack, offering a balance of fruits, nuts, and greens in a convenient form.
Spinach flavor remains subtle, making it appealing even to those sensitive to leafy greens. The recipe can be adapted by using flax or hemp seeds as alternatives to chia.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons almond butter unsalted; creamy
- 1 cup spinach tightly packed, fresh
- 1 cup almond milk or another milk of your choice, unsweetened
- ½ banana ripe
- ¼ cup Mango frozen chunks
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or use 1 teaspoon of each, or flax seeds or hemp hearts
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on medium high speed until fully combined.
- The smoothie should be bright green and the spinach should be completely blended into the mixture. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- The spinach flavor is mild and integrated well with the fruits.
- Chia or hemp seeds add a pleasant texture and nutritional benefits.
